A simple predictive correlation for bed voidage in a three-phase fluidized bed biofilm reactor (FBBR) has been proposed in this study, based on a relationship between the effective up-flow superficial liquid velocity (U-L) ...

Performance of fluidized-bed biofilm reactors (FBBRs) greatly depends on the amount of biomass attached to the inert core support particles and overall bed voidage. Thus, for proper design of an FBBR, it is important to ...
